Which are the requirements to get your music on the cd (except the license)? Are there any preferences for style, length or origin? Do you have to pay for it? It`s a rather nice promo so I guess there are strict rules.

It basically has to sound good (although this is highly subjective, so this means sounds good to us), be freely redistributable under something not very restrictive like the Creative Commons Attribution - No Derivatives license and be provided in a high quality format so we can do our own encoding for quality control purposes. There is no need to pay as there is a mutual benefit; the artist promotes Amarok at the same time Amarok promotes the artist.
